About Magpie Meadow

Magpie Meadow bills itself as 'family-friendly, dog-friendly, cat-friendly… and generally friendly' – and this community-run Norfolk site delivers on that welcoming promise. Spread across a spacious meadow near North Walsham, it offers generous pitches (including woodland spots with private fire pits) where nature does the talking: no tarmac, no manicured hedges, just far-reaching rural views and gradually rewilding grounds planted with native flowers and trees. Guest numbers are capped so the heart of the meadow always stays gloriously open, preserving that peaceful, wild camping atmosphere visitors rave about.

Facilities are intentionally low-key – two flushing loos, a low-impact shower, and washing-up area with hot water – though the site stays spotlessly clean. Campfires and barbecues (60cm off the ground) are allowed, with sustainably sourced logs available to buy. Those skipping the car can reach it via North Walsham station (20 minutes' walk), then explore miles of bike-friendly trails including the Quiet Lanes Network and Weavers' Way. Top coastal spots like Mundesley and Bacton beach are just 15 minutes' drive when you fancy a seaside dash.

What visitors say

Chelsea Simpson (Chimpson)

The hosts are absolutely lovely and rearranged my booking after I turned up two weeks early! The site is beautiful with nice big pitches leaving plenty of room between campers. Each pitch comes with its own fire pit and if by the woodland, you also get a private wooded area with a picnic table. The facilities are clean, there is hot water for washing up and a couple of plumbed toilets. I would definitely give a 5/5 if there were also plumbed showers. The shower setup still works, using the hot water in a bucket and a recharge water pump. I actually loved that part of it and think its a lovely quirk, but equally if here for more than a couple of nights I can imagine the novelty soon wearing off. I would love to come back and stay very soon. Thank you very much Magpie Meadow, see you again soon!

A truly lovely campsite. Offers a perfect hybrid between wild camping (beautiful meadow vibe) with useful and thoughtful additions (2 flushing loos, a place to wash up, electric hook up, benches, firepits etc). The best part is it has a limited number of pitches so you aren’t on top of your neighbours. Super peaceful. Thank you Tina and James for the thought and care you have put into designing your site for people who love nature.

Just spent a fab bank holiday there with our 3 dogs, loved that each pitch was marked out in the wild field, each pitch was very spacious and not on top of the next one. Whilst you could say the facilities are basic, they fall in with camping, the cleaning sink was very large and always had hot water, the toilets and showers were very clean. The town was less than half an hour on foot. Despite the camp site being fully booked it was still a very quiet break. We enjoyed it so much we have booked for the August bank holiday.
